Fable 2 - Molyneux confirms online co-op sort of
Published by Albion Knight on September 24th, 2007
Speaking to members of the XCN during a special event held in London yesterday, Peter Molyneux of Lionhead Studios let slip in a round about manner that Fable 2’s combat would change depending on who you played with - implying that not only will gamers be able to team up with AI but also with a friend. He didn’t mention whether this was online or offline but we can be pretty sure that online is what he meant.
We’ve all known for some time that Fable 2 would feature some sort of multiplayer and so this news confirms that Fable 2 will be playable with others. Peter has mentioned aspects of his games in the past that haven’t come to fruition but in this case he seemed very confident that playing with a friend would feature in his latest creation.
From what we can gather, players will be able to show off their world and share the experience with friends and even though he mentioned “infinite possibilities” within the Fable 2 world, his idea is one where gamers will be able to drop in and out of games with friends without the unnecessary clutter of lobbies and such like. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
